Pat Oliphant for August 07, 2012

She’s just talking to her shrink.

A moose bit my sister once.

those are actually alaskan mid-summer garlic plants

Oliphant has always had a fondness for drawing wacky ladies. Or might it be that women are not as often the main subjects of editorial cartoons?/

Years ago he had fun with his portrayals of Martha Mitchell — they were great but I read they really hurt her feelings (as it turned out, her problem was she trusted her skunk of a husband, John Mitchell, and was herself rather a decent person)./

I’m sure that as Sarah Palin fades from the political scene, cartoonists everywhere each shed a tear. She so often practically did their jobs for them.

Just make me believe that you don’t think she actually said it….

She seems to be almost is sane and likable when compared with Michelle Bachman. She just crazy, Bachman is crazy AND Dangerous.

Not so majestik with all those initials Karved on it.

Please, God, NOOOOOOO!!!!

How do you demonize a vacuum?

Bull-moose Party?

I still wonder why her daughter is on “Dancing With the Has-beens.” I mean, she was JUST a dopey kid who got knocked up by another dopey kid…….To be fair, between them, they have four dopey parents………..

ghostkeeper: I think we can delete the “near”, and just say psychotic, as are her supporters, and it’s obviously going to get REALLY WEIRD by convention, let alone November as our resident right-wingers blow their last two brain cells, on “TEA”.

I googled it and here she is saying exactly what I wrote:

You don’t put much thought into what you post, do you?

Moose, moose, I like a moose ;)

Mitt’s second wife? I was under the impression that Mitt alreday had five wives! One in the U.S. the others in verious tax exempt offshore locations.

Great comment! One of my favorite lines from the play, “Harvey”:/

Elwood P. Dowd: You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections. /

Dr. Chumley: Fly specks, fly specks! I’ve been spending my life among fly specks while miracles have been leaning on lampposts at 18th and Fairfax! /

I used to enjoy this play a lot. However, these days my enjoyment of it is spoiled by consideration of the mental illness implications. I wonder if Dowd is a schizophrenic, in the advanced stages of alcoholism, borderline psychotic. /

The same with “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Is mass murder actually a fit subject for comedy? /

And I used to appreciate the literary aspects and humor of LOLITA. But is child molestation even mildly funny? /

And don’t get me started on the politically-correct controversies about the use of the n-word in HUCKLEBERRY FINN! /

As usual, I wander as I wonder…

Actually, Russia and the US are three miles apart, and even during the Cold War, people walked across the frozen distance to visit one another. The thing I wondered during the Reich-wing panic over Cuba being 90 miles away, was why the Diomede Islands were never mentioned. There was and is a Russian naval base 12 miles from the US and no one panicked over that.

I really liked Oliphant’s cartoon of the moose and Palin post mattress romp…

Date on the video: 9/11/08Date the SNL episode came out: 9/13/08

Really, I don’t know why I’m bothering to look this all up since facts don’t exist in your alternate universe.

“@onguard

Oh, please . . . face it, Palin was a noose around McCain’s neck!"-——————————————————————-Even Cheney admits it.

“@mdblanche

She did not."————————————————————————————This was your response to mdblanche who said:“@cwsprague

“They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.”

Yes, she said that.".There are many links to Couric’s second interview with Palin, wherein she asked her to defend that remark, so I won’t trouble you with those..However, I’ve provided a link that you might find enlightening:.Palin and Russia.Here is a quote from that site:Asked what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, she said: “They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”.That article concerned an interview from September 11, 2008; it mentions the fact that the remark was turned into a “punch line” for a SNL skit.

“@mdblanche

Defferent time and different statement. This is after the dust up, post the Fay SNL bit. And, Palin’s statement is totally correct."-—————————————————————————————-See my post above ..SNL’s Tina had to have had a reason for the skit – and the gaffe on September 11th was the source.
